A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND PRAYERS, YOUR NOTES AND WORDS OF COMFORT, THE TOKENS YOU HAVE SO GRACIOUSLY LEFT DAVID. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE. MAY THE GOOD LORD SHINE UPON YOU ALL, EACH AND EVERY ONE.

I couldn't have gotten better in-laws if I'd tried. Please visit my mighty sweet mother-in-law, Naomi Varnell, and my great father-in-law, Jack Varnell - Jack was a veteran of WWI. Jack and Naomi raised 12 children and a whole lot of cotton on a farm in Oklahoma.

Regina was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She worked for the State of Arkansas for 33 years. A lay preacher with the Methodist Church, she led the graveside services for David. Losing her was a staggering blow to her family, her myriad friends, and her church and community. She was Everybody's Best Friend, and I was, I am so honored and blessed to have known her!

There are two little boys buried out on the desert of Nevada, Clyde W. Hart and his brother Kenneth V. Hart . Do please pay them a visit. No kin of mine or anybody I know, just a pair of little boys out in the middle of noplace.

In my "**... Lonesome Places**" virtual cemetery will be found other children buried in abandoned graveyards, off by themselves, or beside a trail, such as Baby Catalina, who sleeps in an abandoned cemetery in Wyoming, where an animal has dug around her little headstone. I sure hope you can pay her a visit.

A little girl is buried in Mississippi, who over 90 years after her passing still has the ability to reach out and indelibly touch people, whether it is a young girl who saw the grave and never forgot it, or a grown man wandering a graveyard, and making special notice of it in a book. Her name is Fairy Jumper , and I hope you will visit her too.

Many, many thanks to my Find A Grave friend, rendovaJJ Coppinger, for introducing Fairy to me!

Many thanks to AngelWings for sponsoring our Fairy's memorial.
